The architecture and location are fascinating examples of the use a the building for framing. I believe that they are designed to send a message to the public that lofty, bold, unique and significant science takes place here. Others can see the facility here: http://www.archives.ucar.edu/exhibits/mesalab/resources Great talk! I'm hoping for a book that gives a strategy for now.

In the absence of adequate external controls, prairie dog colonies basically reproduce until they run out of resources and the colony collapses.

That prairie dog looks scrumptious! Convenient of NCAR to locate this talk on my side of town, but I hope you are getting an opportunity to visit their Mesa facility also. I look forward to seeing you in person. Eagles need to eat, you know! That prairie dog looks scrumptious!

Enjoy Boulder! Right now we have our characteristic mid-winter warming w/Chinook winds. Glad you got to see the eagles - we're a kinds of wildlife paradise here. Just where I work (near where you're going to give your talk), we have a vixen who every year produces 3-4 kits; bucks during the winter; does and fawns in spring/summer; and a little family of skunks that remind us that, along with flowering trees and manure-spread fields, spring is in the air in Colorado.
